A note on interpreting N M2 branes

Abstract

A new world volume theory with a free scalar field was proposed for Multiple M2 branes recently. By giving the free scalar a large VEV, we can obtain a gauge theory of multiple D2 branes with a coupling constant proportional to the VEV. It is pointed out by Banerjee and Sen that we can get D2 branes by choosing a compactification in the $\theta$ direction, with radial position having the same value of the VEV. Following this work, we try to describe the multiple M2 branes in R^8/Z_K and give a simple provement of g_{YM} \propto {1 \ov \sqrt{K}} in the compactification. We try to interpret T^0 and T^{-1} as the radial coordinate operator and momentum operator and give some evidences in geometry and quantum mechanics.
